YOU know those moments when you instantly doubt hitting that ‘post’ button?

One mother in Florida, USA, will be feeling this prickly regret after taking to the social network to vent her frustration about her son’s school only to result in the four-year-old being excluded.

Ashley Habat was running late with her son Will for Sonshine Christian Academy, a private Christian preschool, and when she arrived told the school’s administration she wasn’t given enough notice for picture day.

This mum with a gripe then expressed her opinion on her Facebook profile saying:

“Why is it that every single day there is something new I dislike about Will’s School? Are my standards really too high or are people working in the education field really just that ignorant?”

The post was private, however Habat tagged the school and it was seen by officials, which led to her being called into the headmaster’s office and being told her son could no longer attend. In the formal letter that she received it spoke of “discord” and how Habat “utilized (sic) social media to call into question not only the integrity but the intelligence of our staff”.

Evidently, such action is a stipulation in the school’s handbook that every parent must sign but it still came as a shock to Habat who believes the school is punishing her four-year-old for a private opinion she posted only for her friends to see.

Was this school too harsh or was this mother in the wrong? Have your say @newscomauHQ
